The Square Root of Three

Caught Harold and Kumar with the guys (and gals) at the theatres last night. Not a very family friendly show, but it's pretty hilarious. I like the poem from the movie though -


The Square Root Of Three

I fear that I will always be
A lonely number like root three
A three is all that's good and right,
Why must my three keep out of sight

Beneath a vicious square root sign,
I wish instead I were a nine
For nine could thwart this evil trick,
with just some quick arithmetic

I know I'll never see the sun,
As 1.7321
Such is my reality,
a sad irrationality

When hark! What is this I see,
Another square root of a three
Has quietly come waltzing by,
Together now we multiply
To form a number we prefer,
Rejoicing as an integer

We break free from our mortal bonds
And with a wave of magic wands
Our square root signs become unglued
And love for me has been renewed.
